New York police officials said officers didn’t ignore an 11-year-old girl who was being attacked, after a local paper claimed officers stood by and watched the assault happen.

The New York Police Department (NYPD) released video footage that police said showed officers responding to the assault but unable to get to the scene because a group prevented them from moving.
